Who We Are

CESA's members represent diverse organizations, from state energy offices and public utilities commissions to municipally owned utilities and quasi-governmental or third-party entities specifically established to administer clean energy funding and programs. Some organizations receive payments through systems benefit charges (SBCs) and similar vehicles, some from payments stemming from settlements of utility mergers or the sale of generation assets, and others from emissions reduction programs such as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) or from appropriations in state budgets.

CESA's staff is comprised of professionals with a diverse set of backgrounds and skill sets from lawyers and financial experts to former state clean energy fund managers. CESA is managed by Clean Energy Group, Inc. (CEG), a nonprofit 501(c)(3), publicly supported charitable organization. CEG's mission is to work with all sectors of the economy, including businesses and local citizens, to accelerate the commercialization of clean energy. The organization works to overcome major barriers, including lack of information and technology risk, through carefully structured collaborations, as well as new financing and market development measures.

NOTICE

CESA is not a solar marketer, distributor, installer, or developer.

It has come to our attention that some telemarketers have repeatedly contacted individuals about installing solar PV systems by using variations of the names of either Clean Energy Group and/or the Clean Energy States Alliance as a marketing device. Neither organization participates in, endorses, or condones these marketing activities. Neither organization is a vendor of clean energy technologies nor in any way associated with the sale of clean energy equipment.

Please report any fraudulent or automated phone calls to the Federal Trade Commission at www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov, or contact your state’s Consumer Protection Office to report any disreputable marketing activities. We regret any inconvenience this fraudulent activity has caused.
